just take a dive.....

book club last night..... yes, i am in a book club. what a great discussion & we had two new people that might actually come back. they were great additions to the variety of folks that gather. and what a spread from AMAZING cheeses, yummy wine, scrumptious cake & perfect fruit. it was a great night. our discussion actually went longer than it normal which means, while no one was in love with the book, it lended itself to really discussing what it means between the right and wrong choice in a situation. (and by the way, there is a lifetime original movie based on the book!!!) my personal feeling was that it was a creative cast of character, interesting plot movement, but it needed a better writer. ann packer scratches the surface just enough to still leave me wanting more from my reading experience..... but then it would be a different book. besides, i still enjoyed this one. i'll read something else she writes - if she does so. i am really jazzed about the growing group - and talk about a generational divide. not sure anyone bridges it other than the books we read. i feel lucky to experience a book along with women who have a greater perspective of a life lived than i do (and have no idea what blogging or sweet valley high are). they are a wealth of wisdom, knowledge, and humor that i am only at the beginning of acquiring. perhaps one day i will conquer a james novel (although, i doubt it). happy reading!
